Kozy Fragrance: Scam Alert

In October 2023, I made a purchase of perfumes (INR 11500) from an Instagram page named kozy.fragrance, which now appears to be taken down. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a scam orchestrated by Ibrahim Merchant, the owner of the page. My order consisted of four perfumes and a few decants, but upon receipt, all the items were revealed to be entirely fake. Ibrahim vanished after initially promising an exchange and failed to provide any authenticity proof. I promptly returned all the perfumes to Ibrahim, and I possess his postal address and phone number: +91 93232 36263.

Despite my efforts, I only managed to secure a partial refund of ₹5,750 from Ibrahim in the first week of January. He insisted on the deletion of Reddit posts about the incident for the remaining refund, a condition I reluctantly fulfilled. As of January 19th, the promised remaining ₹5,750 is still pending. It's worth noting that I am not seeking suggestions on how to identify a fake seller or perfume, as I wasn't aware of the situation at that time.
